32 They must proclaim his greatness in the assembly of the peopleand praise him before the council of the leaders.
33 The Lord made rivers dry up completelyand stopped springs from flowing.
34 He made rich soil become a salty wildernessbecause of the wickedness of those who lived there.
35 He changed deserts into pools of waterand dry land into flowing springs.
36 He let hungry people settle there,and they built a city to live in.
37 They sowed the fields and planted grapevinesand reaped an abundant harvest.
38 He blessed his people, and they had many children;he kept their herds of cattle from decreasing.
